Water needs a clear, shining voice in the global #climatepolicy space. As of today, that voice is Ingrid Timboe, seconded from Alliance for Global Water Adaptation (AGWA) as the Water Advisor for the #COP28 Presidency for #cop28UAE. Simply put, water resilience means the ability of water-related policies, plans and investments to cope with climate-related impacts. Water is the lifeblood of society, the economy and the natural environment. But climate change means that the availability of water for drinking, ecosystems, agriculture, industry and energy can no longer be assumed. With increasing competition for limited water resources, there will be difficult tradeoffs to make.

Water Tracker for National Climate Planning

In AGWA, we have learned that water resilience provides an essential, informative compass for most adaptation and resilience strategies, policies, and actions, with some critical climate mitigation co-benefits. Water is widely recognized as both a major component of many climate-related disasters — the “teeth” of climate change. Building water resilience is an approach to water management, planning, and policy that can integrate many sectors, reduce sectoral, political, and institutional conflict, and clarify sequencing, priorities, and contingencies. AGWA is an international NGO working across technical and policy programs to mainstream resilient water resources management, focusing on the connections between water resources and climate adaptation and mitigation. AGWA works with and through its member network to develop and crowdsource solutions across disciplines, institutions, and sectors. John started and led WWF’s freshwater climate adaptation program in 2007 before co-founding the Alliance for Global Water Adaptation (AGWA) in 2010, where he remains the Executive Director. He has led the development of a variety of climate risk reduction methodologies that have been used in dozens of countries, prepared green bond criteria that have certified more than 15 billion USD in water resilience investments across six continents, and advised well over 100 countries on their national climate commitments.

Why are our #netzero and #climatemitigation targets tangled up in blue? Come to our #climateweeknyc #unga session on aligning #waterstewardship with our #carbon ambitions. Is water the hidden catalyst for the low-carbon revolution? From unpredictable rainfall patterns to extreme floods and droughts, water is widely recognized at the forefront of many climate disasters — the “teeth” of climate change.

Water is needed in efforts to reduce carbon emissions, such as generating renewable energy and sequestering carbon. Countries around the world are developing climate plans — such as Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) and National Adaptation Plans (NAPs) — to meet commitments of the Paris Agreement. But, these plans typically neglect the strategic role of water in climate solutions.

Article, 15 March 2022 // MINAE 42 representantes de instituciones se capacitan en resilienca del agua y planificación climática Deep uncertainty describes a novel crisis in decision making: the analytical inability to distinguish between the likelihood of quite divergent future pathways, some of which may have disruptive and consequential economic, social and ecological impacts. Traditional responses by engineers, economics, planners, and resource managers to climate uncertainty have included robustness and flexibility. Both approaches assume that we can define a problem and its solution set in discrete and well-bounded terms. Ingrid blends deep technical insight with policy fluency — and a strong sense of what good practice and good policy look like now (and should look like in the future). John has been working at the intersection of water with climate adaptation and resilience since 2007. His work explores how we define, develop, and accelerate the uptake of our emerging set of best practices for climate resilience. We are organizing a webinar on an “Introduction to Water Resilience as an Economic Concept” to go along with launching the updated report "Enabling Resilient Economies: Catalyzing Prosperity and Structural Transformation Through Water Resilience."Article, 28 September 2022 // Ministerio de Ambiente de Panamá Panamá cuenta con una nueva herramienta centrada en la protección del recurso hídrico Tangled up in Blue: Integrating water stewardship into private sector climate strategies — Alliance for Global Water Adaptation (AGWA) It is also useful for line ministries, civil society, investment banks, aid agencies and other groups with a stake in evaluating the credibility and efficacy of national climate plans.
